Tonight's live game. (Hand Two)
jlane1980:
Hand Two,
Straight after the previous hand. And, it so happens, the final hand of my night.
Blinds have increased 400/800.
I have about 11500. UTG+2 Has 16000. Button has 1600.
UTG +2 raises to 1600, Button pushes remaining 1600, i look down at kh ks. I decide to reraise, at this point i"m happy to take the pot, and not have a big stack playing post flop with position on me. I raise to 4000. UTG+2, to my annoyance, flat calls.
Question. Should i have raised more, or pushed?
Flop -
qc 7s :2h:
With an overpair, I decide to push. He insta-calls, turns pocket 7"s to show a flopped set, no kings to come, Game over me. Button has ad 5d, for nothing.
Question. Should i have checked post flop to see his actions?
AMRN:
Not much you can do about this. You"ve actually played it in a trappy way by pricing the guy in with your smallish preflop raise..... there"s no way you can ever get away from the flop. cooler.
I would have shoved preflop - your raise to 4000 was irrelevant.... it left you pot committed and your stack"s going in.
Re your final question - even if you had checked to see his action, and he lead out, you are still never folding.... so no difference.
It doesn"t really matter how you played this hand pre or post flop - the chips were all going in and you were destined to lose.
hi_am_chris:
Agree again, im shoving pre. you say to your annoyance he called but the raise you made invited him in. Having said that he shouldnt be set mining with the way the blinds and stacks are so his play isnt great. You got unlucky but i think its better to get it in pre.
LongshanksED:
You shove pre IMO.
There"s a good section I"m currently Reading in harringtons cash game book showing odds of winning in multi player pots. Aces against 2 other random hands are usually no better than 55% -60% chance to win
kings is a hand I will always re raise big or shove try to isolate with. Your shove may get the other to fold pre flop
as played there"s nothing wrong with how it played out. As amrn said. It wouldve all went in at some point

To be honest, pushing didn"t even cross my mind. If I had pushed pre, i"m not sure he would have called!
